[. . . ] External Speaker The External Speaker Jack is used for an external speaker. The external speaker should have 8-ohm impedance and be rated to handle at least 4. 0 watts. When the external speaker is plugged in, the internal speaker is automatically disconnected. If you wish to remove the radio after installation, disconnect at fuse holder and ground connector. Public Address An external PA speaker may be connected to the PA speaker jack when used as a public address system. The speaker should be directed away from the microphone to prevent acoustic feed-back. Physical separation or isolation of the microphone and speaker must be employed when operating the PA at high output levels.

This adapter and a magnetic mount antenna allow you to quickly "install" your transceiver for temporary use.

Maintenance Maintenance and Adjustment Your COBRA CB transceiver is specifically designed for the environment encountered in mobile installations. The use of all solid state circuitry and its light weight result in high reliability. Should a failure occur, however, review the following, then if necessary, replace parts only with identical parts. Check connections to the source of power and make sure it is the 13. 8 VDC required to operate your radio. Use only the above specified type and size fuse for maximum protection. If you are unable to correct the problem, refer to the SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS at the end of this manual for the correct procedure for warranty and post-warranty service from COBRA. Maintenance/ Adjustment Operating Procedure to Transmit Operating Procedure to Transmit Select the desired channel. The receiver and transmitter are controlled by the press-to-talk switch on the microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated; release switch to receive. When transmitting (on a clear channel), hold the microphone two inches from the mouth and speak clearly in a normal voice. Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio before transmitting. Prolonged transmitting without an antenna, or a poorly matched antenna, could cause damage to the transmitter. 14 15 20 XTR MANUAL. qxd 4/17/03 4:56 PM Page 16 Warning & Rules Replacement Warning Replacement Warning Replacement or substitution of certain parts with replacements other than those recommended by Cobra may be a violation of the technical regulations of Part 95 of the FCC rules, or of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of said rules.
